Awesome place for kids to play!…read more We took 5 kids to play for a birthday celebration and they had a great time. The staff was great getting us checked in. They give you a bin to put your shoes in to keep the floors from being cluttered. Lots of tables and chairs for the adults to watch. They have a gate so the kids can't leave without an adult. The kids loved all the different themed play areas from giant building blocks, slides, soccer area, climbing areas. Even adults are welcome to join in the fun. They even have a small Toto's area for kids in diapers. I enjoyed that the staff let the kids play but we're still attentive in making sure rules were being followed.

Bathrooms are dirty and my kid was constantly sick while we went there…read more The teachers do not look like typical teachers and wear all black and I didn't see them smiling or being friendly to the kids. Also no one there has a degree. The classrooms are small with a lot of kids in there and the bathrooms are outside of the classroom so the kids have to leave the classroom by themselves to use them. I think there are better places to choose from.

We were so delighted to find Tutu School Strongsville! From the moment we walked in, the studio felt warm, organized, and genuinely welcoming. The staff greets families with kindness and familiarity, creating an environment where children feel comfortable and excited to participate. One of the things my son enjoys most is how personable and engaging the instructors are. They take the time to truly connect with each child-- learning their personalities and making them feel seen and supported. That personal attention has made a noticeable difference--he looks forward to class and leaves feeling proud of himself every time! The owners, Katie and Grant, are also wonderful. Their experience and passion in professional ballet and teaching dance is evident in everything they do. Their enthusiasm, expertise, and genuine care for the families they serve create a strong foundation for the entire studio. The instructors balance structure with imagination beautifully. They introduce real ballet fundamentals while keeping the experience playful and age‑appropriate. Their patience, professionalism, and warmth truly make each class feel special. The studio itself is clean, safe, and thoughtfully maintained, and communication from the Strongsville team is always clear and timely. Watching our son grow more confident each week has been incredibly rewarding. Tutu School Strongsville has provided exactly the enriching experience we were hoping to find, and we're grateful for the care, intention, and joy the entire team brings to every class.

They had plenty of option in my price range, which was also nice. One piece of advice if you're looking for a specific character or animal, I'd double check that it's not an online exclusive before you drive all the way out there. The family in front of me made that mistake and were pretty disappointed. But you can check all that, plus the availability of specific items, on their website. My niece wanted the Santa Bluey and I was able to confirm online ahead of time they had them in stock. Good experience all around! I look forward to taking her with me the next time my aunt's in town!

Before you can purchase your entertainment of choice, there is a QR code for parents or guardians to sign a waiver. We purchased the toddler time for around $16 with tax included. You also get $5 loaded onto a card for you to play some arcade games. This includes access to one room for toddlers to play in all day, but honestly there's not much to do to keep a toddler occupied all day in this room. Although the toddler room was disappointing, they are accommodating to the adults by having beverages available for purchase. Food wasn't too bad, so I can't be too upset with our experience. Was surprised they had fried cauliflower bites which was pretty good. Staff were very nice and helpful with any questions we had. Some of them were really interactive with the kids which made me smile. Overall, this place is probably better for bigger kids because they have more stuff to keep them occupied, like laser tag, rock climbing, ballocity, etc.. will probably try this place again when my kiddo is bigger.

They've got lots to do for the little ones and they serve local craft beer for the big kids. We went to have fun and that's exactly what we did. We'll be back!

I remember texting my friend Vlad because I was so excited to use the sauna at the Strongsville Rec. Center. He said that I probably would find Russian men in the sauna which I did, 2 of them (apparently Russians love saunas which is cool...haha). I am writing this review a year later, in Feb. 2025. A day pass cost me about $10, if I can remember correctly. I like that this option exists because I don't have to join as a member to use the gym and sauna. GYM/POOL/SAUNA -- At the upstairs gym, I used the stair master and walking track. I also noticed that they have a weights room downstairs but I didn't use it because I didn't have a lot of time. I then used the sauna and steam room downstairs. I stayed in the sauna for about 10 mins and I stayed in the steam room for about 5 mins. The sauna is very small but manageable. There were 3 men in there when I entered. I appreciate that there is a camera inside incase of any emergencies. The steam room is a bit bigger which felt nice. It feels good to be spaced out between people. TIPS -- I recommend bringing a towel to sit on while you're in the Sauna and Steam room. Bring a water bottle too. Also, bring a padlock and key to lock your bag and clothes in the changing room (locker room). I didn't bring a lock because I didn't realize that I would need one so I carried my wallet with me while I used the gym and sauna. Now that it is winter as I'm writing this review, I want to return to the sauna and steam room. The whole gym and pool/sauna area gets very crowded so I recommend that you arrive early. Also, I noticed that some floors were not very clean as I walked around the pool/sauna area. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 34/365 total reviews in 2025 - 815 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 5 February 2025
